Requires firearm retailers to provide disclosure of customer's responsibility to report stolen or lost firearms; advises customers it is unlawful to purchase firearms with intent to sell to disqualified persons.
This bill requires New Jersey firearm retailers to provide customers with a written disclosure at the point of sale. The disclosure informs buyers they must report lost or stolen firearms within 36 hours to local law enforcement or the State Police, and warns that purchasing firearms with intent to resell to disqualified individuals is illegal. Retailers must have customers sign and receive a copy of this disclosure, keep signed copies for 15 years, and prominently post the notice at all sales counters. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for repeat offenses, with collected fines directed to gun violence prevention efforts.
